We are a values based academy based in Haverhill, Suffolk, which aim is to inspire and motivate students to succeed and achieve their very best. We believe that an excellent education changes lives and opens doors to opportunities students may not be aware exist and it is our job to broaden their horizon, so they can move into the future confidently and courageously.

As the lead school in the Samuel Ward Academy Trust we offer outstanding CPD both within and beyond school, and encourage all our staff to become involved in research at all levels. We have an excellent reputation for Initial Teacher Training and work closely with our training arm – SBTA (Suffolk Borders Teaching Alliance) to support trainees and NQTs.

If you are interested in looking round the school, or want to find out more about us just get in touch via Mrs Merch-Chammon (Head’s PA) via email: mmerch-chammon@samuelward.co.uk
